Objective To develop the'E-Bone',a comprehensive one-stop preoperative planning system for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty with improved accuracy and efficiency.Methods The nnU-net deep neural network was utilized for scapula segmentation to obtain precise scapula segmentation results.Based on the 3 key factors,namely bone density,upward and downward angle and nail length,the base was automatically positioned.The quantitative parameters required for surgical planning were calculated.A personalized guide plate was generated by combining glenoid morphology and base positioning information.The system interface was developed to modularize various functions for easy use,providing interactive operation and real-time display.Results Compared with the Mimics system,the'E-bone'preoperative planning system reduced complex manual adjustments during the planning process.The average planned nail length was longer than that of the Mimics system,and the planning time was reduced by 86%.The scapula segmentation accuracy of this system reached 99.93%,better than that of Mimics to achieve a higher precision.Conclusion The"E-bone"system provides a one-stop,efficient,and accurate preoperative planning system for reverse shoulder replacement and potentially broader clinical applications.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of single-incision plus one-port three dimensional (3D) laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (SILPD+1).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 40 patients who underwent 3D laparos-copic pancreaticoduodenectomy in Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from January to October 2023 were collected. There were 24 males and 16 females, aged (63±10)years. Of the 40 patients, 18 cases undergoing SILPD+1 were divided into the SILPD+1 group, and 22 cases under-going conventional five-trocar 3D laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (CLPD) were divided into the CLPD group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations and complications. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Mann-Whitney rank sum test. Results:(1) Surgical situa-tions. Seventeen patients of the SILPD+1 group completed surgery successfully, and the rest of one patient with an inflammatory mass of the pancreatic head was converted to open surgery due to unclear boundary with mesenteric blood vessels and severe adhesion of surrounding tissues. All patients of the CLPD group completed surgery successfully, without conversion to open surgery. There was no significant difference in conversion to open surgery between the two groups ( P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in the volume of intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion or operation time ( P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations and complications. There was no significant difference in tumor diameter, the number of lymph node dissected, the number of positive lymph node, R 0 resection, tumor type, time to postoperative first flatus, time to postopera-tive first intake liquid food, tome to first out-of-bed activity, time to postoperative drainage tube removal, duration of postoperative hospital stay, postoperative bleeding, pancreatic fistula, chylous leakage, delayed gastric emptying, abdominal fluid collection, incision infection, classification of com-plications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Postoperative pain score of the SILPD+1 group and the CLPD group was 5.0(4.5,6.0) and 6.5(6.0,7.0), respectively, showing a significant difference ( Z=-3.61, P<0.05). Both groups of patients had no occurrence of biliary fistula or abdominal infection after surgery, and there was no readmission within 30 days after surgery or no death within 90 days after surgery. Conclusions:Compared with CLPD, SILPD+1 is safe and feasible, with less postoperative pain. While ensuring oncological outcomes, SILPD+1 does not increase surgical time, postoperative hospital stay, or incidence of postoperative complications.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the number of positive preoperative serological tumor markers on the surgical approach and prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. Data from 548 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection from October 2010 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected in 10 hospitals of China. There were 277 males and 271 females with an age of (57.8±10.2)years(range:23 to 84 years). Four hundred and twenty-six patients(77.7%) had at least one positive preoperative serum tumor marker. The data collection included the results of 4 preoperative serological tumor markers,other preoperative indicators(5 prodromal symptoms, 6 medical history,8 preoperative serological indicators,5 preoperative imaging indicators,and 14 preoperative pathological examination indicators),baseline data (gender and age),surgical methods,and prognostic follow-up data. Four preoperative results of serologic tumor marker and surgical procedure were converted into categorical variables. The number of positive preoperative serum tumor markers was used as the treatment variable,the surgical method was used as the mediating variable,and the survival time was used as the outcome variable. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to screen for other preoperative indicators which were independent factors that influenced the surgical procedure and the prognosis of patients as covariates to analyze the mediating effect.Results:Of the 548 patients included in the study, 176 patients (32.1%) underwent partial hepatectomy,151 patients(27.5%) underwent hemihepatectomy, and 221 patients(40.3%) underwent partial hepatectomy or hemihepatectomy combined with other treatments. The results of the univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers,intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,portal vein invasion,pathological differentiation,pathological type,vascular invasion,T stage,N stage and maximum tumor diameter were independent factors influencing the surgical procedure(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,pathological differentiation and T stage were independent prognostic factors for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,differentiation and T stage were included as covariates in the mediation effect model. The results showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers before surgery had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.092, P=0.039),and had a positive predictive effect on the surgical method ( β=0.244, P<0.01). The number of positive serum tumor markers had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.151, P=0.002). Direct and indirect effects accounted for 71.3% and 28.7% of total effects,respectively. Conclusions:The higher the positive number of preoperative tumor markers,the worse the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The number of positive cells not only directly affects the prognosis of patients,but also indirectly affects the prognosis of patients by affecting the surgical method.

Objective:To verify the clinical efficacy and safety of Qufeng Tongxuan method in treating low- and moderate-volume intracerebral hemorrhage at acute stage.Methods:A prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was performed; patients with low- and moderate-volume intracerebral hemorrhage at the basal ganglia and/or thalamus accepted treatment in 16 hospitals from September 2019 to April 2022 were enrolled. These patients were divided into experimental and control groups with a block randomized method by SAS software. Patients in control group were given conventional western medicine treatment; those in experimental group accepted Qufeng Tongxuan method (sequential therapy of Shexiang Huayu Xingnao granules and Zhilong Huoxue Tongyu granules) besides conventional western medicine treatment. NIHSS was used to assess neurological function before treatment and on 7 th, 14 th, 30 th, and 90 th d of treatment. Prognoses of these patients were assessed by modified Rankin scale (mRS) before treatment and on 180 th d of treatment. Brain CT was performed before treatment and on 7 th and 14 th d of treatment to calculate the hematoma volume. Before treatment and on 14 th d of treatment, changes of coagulation function, liver and kidney functions of the 2 groups were compared. Adverse reactions during treatment in the 2 groups were recorded. Results:No significant differences in NIHSS scores were noted between the 2 groups before treatment, on 7 th, 14 th, and 30 th d of treatment ( P>0.05); NIHSS scores in experimental group on 90 th d of treatment were signficantly lower than those in control group ( P<0.05); NIHSS scores in experimental group decreased gradually before treatment and on 7 th, 14 th, 30 th and 90 th d of treatment, with statistical significances ( P<0.05). No significant differences in mRS scores were noted between the 2 groups before treatment ( P>0.05); mRS scores in experimental group on 180 th d of treatment were signfciantly lower than those in control group ( P<0.05). No significant difference in hematoma volume was noted between the 2 groups before treatment and on 7 th and 14 th d of treatment ( P>0.05); both groups had gradually decreased hematoma volumes before treatment and on 7 th and 14 th d of treatment, respectively, with significant differences ( P<0.05); the volume difference of hematoma between 14 th d of treatment and before treatment in experimental group (6.42[4.10, 11.73]) was significantly higher than that in control group (4.00[1.25, 10.58], P<0.05). No significant differences in liver and kidney function indexes or coagulation function indexes were noted between the 2 groups before treatment and on 14 th d of treatment ( P>0.05). Adverse reaction incidence was 9.52% ( n=12) in experimental group and 10.34% ( n=12) in control group, without statistical difference ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Under premise of conventional western medicine treatment, Qufeng Tongxuan method can promote hematoma absorption and improve neurological deficit symptoms in low- and moderate-volume intracerebral hemorrhage at acute stage, without obvious adverse reactions.

There are few reports on the use of Allium stents in the treatment of membranous urethral stricture in China. Its safety and effectiveness need to be observed. This study retrospectively analyzed the data of 5 patients admitted to our hospital for the treatment of membranous urethral stricture using Allium-covered metal urethral stents in the past 5 years. The preoperative International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) score was 8.80±1.30, quality of life(QOL)score was 4.20 ±0.84, and the International Index of Erectile Function-5(IIEF-5) score was 20.20 ± 1.92, respectively. Six months after the operation, the IPSS score was 3.60±1.52, the QOL score was 1, and the IIEF-5 score was 19.80±1.48. This operation is easy with little invasion. It can alleviate the dysuria of patients with membranous urethral stricture and has little impact on the sexual function of patients. It is generally safe and controllable, but the appropriate time for implantation still needs to be explored.
